Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
The developers could hardly have released a bad game when using the AOE II engine. There is a reason "Age of Kings" is at the top of so many all-time lists. If you didn't get enough of AOE II with the "Conquerors" expansion, or if you would like to continue playing the same game with a new set of pixels, you will find the experience satisfying. Similarly, if you are a "Star Wars" fan who is trying the RTS genre for the first time, "Galactic Battlegrounds" is a good choice. It's not the best game LucasArts has ever released, but this title certainly bodes well for the resurgence of LucasArts gaming.
